The number you see in the middle of the doughnut pie chart is the simple average of these scores. If you hover over the various sections of the donut, you will see the % breakdown of each score given.

The percentile score in the title is calculated across the entire Company Database and uses an adjusted score based on Bayesian Estimates (to account for companies that have few interview insights). Simply put, as a company gets more reviews, the confidence of a "true score" increases so it is pulled closer to its simple average and away from the average of the entire dataset.

Interview
Very kind people at VRS who made it clear from Day 1 what they are looking for in a candidate. Interview consisted oh two stages. The first stage was video recording answers of a set of questions. The second was an in person interview with a set of workers (a CIO and investment officer). I believe they asked a couple simple math questions (calculate the standard deviation and average of this set of numbers) and some basic accounting questions. Asked about my interests and why I want to pursue this field.

Interview
Second round skype interview after a phone screen. Mix of behavioral and technical questions. Asked many abstract and/or random questions. Interviewers were very dry and never commented on any of my responses.
Interview Questions
Most difficult question that I received was explain a hypothetical day in the job that you are applying for? What would you do from when you arrive until you leave in the evening.

Next question: What would you do if someone higher up at the company decided to yell at you in front of others during a meeting if they didn't like the quality of your work.


Other questions that were asked were completely random behavioral questions that while were thoughtfully created were simply unrealistic scenarios.
